As part of the Penguins’ pre-game media material, the team bragged a little about an impressive achievement given to them by their fans in the form an almost 13-year straight sellout streak turning over another milestone.
When the puck drops [Sunday] afternoon, it will officially be Pittsburgh’s 600th-consecutive sellout at home. The sellout streak, which includes regular season and playoff games, dates all the way back to Feb. 14, 2007 – a 5-4 shootout win against the Chicago Blackhawks. Through the first 599 games, a total of 10,870,298 fans have entered the gates and Pittsburgh holds a 388-170-41 record.
